A list on the RIDE website details other test options and the minimum scores required to meet the state assessment requirement. Waiver and AppealsWaivers are intended only for students for whom there is clear evidence that they have reached the required level of proficiency. Students must be proficient in grade 9-10 standards in order to receive a waiver.

Students and families retain the right to appeal overall graduation decisions. NECAP State Assessment Graduation Requirement Students have multiple opportunities to meet the state assessment requirement. If students score substantially below proficient (1) in either Reading or Math, a Progress Plan is developed in partnership with the student and their family, and appropriate interventions are provided until the requirement is met.

An improvement chart on the RIDE website shows the required NECAP scores needed to show “significant” improvement from the first/initial administration of the NECAP test to subsequent administrations in both Reading and Math. If a student shows this level of improvement, they have met the NECAP component of the graduation requirements. The Spring NECAP Retest is an option for students. It is not mandatory.To determine if a student is eligible for a waiver, there must be evidence that the student has:

Successfully completed all elements of their local graduation requirements Completed the sequence of state testing requirementsDocumented evidence of academic content mastery against grade 9-10 standardsDemonstrated effort

Students who meet this criteria may be eligible for School Waiver Committee consideration.

To assist in determining which students are eligible for a waiver, there is a waiver eligibility decision tree available on the RIDE website. Additional Time Beyond Senior Year Some students may need further instruction and/or additional time in school until they are proficient for graduation. You can do it! Be proactive and stay top of what you need to graduate.
